NAVAL HOPES OF
HUNS BASED ON
LIES AND BLUFF
Capt. Persius, German Critic,
Says Teutons Never Had
a Chance in Sea Fight ,
With Allies.
The Abandoned RQorii
By Wadtworth Camp.
London, Nov. 20. (British Wire
less Service.) Captain Persius, the
Geffnan naval critic, publishes in the
Berlin Tageblatt an article contain
ing revelations regarding the Ger
man fleet. He says the hope that
the German fleet would be able "n
" a second Skagerrak battle to beat
the Bitish fket rested upon the
-bluff and lies of the naval authori
ties. '
In August, 1914, Germany had
about 1,000,000 tonnage in warshi; -,
the writer points out, while Great
Britain had more than double th t,
quite superior to the German. In
the Skagerrak battle, he declares,
the -German fleet was saved from
destruction partly by good leader
ship and partly by favorable weather
conditions. AsVit was, the -"losses
of the German fleet were enormous,
and on June 1, Captain Persius says,
' it was clear that the Skagerrak bat
tle must be the only general naval
engagement of the war.
Tirpitz Was Obstinate.
. On all sides, continues the writer,
Admiral von Tirpitz was advised to
construct only submarines, but he
v remained obstinate. On October 1
(1915), several members of the
Heichstat, made an earnest appeal
to the army command not to the
naval staff with the result that an
orderxwas issued terminating the
construction, of battleships in order
that the material might be used for
the making U-boats. In the
meantime, so great a scarcity of ma
terial had arisen that it became nec
essary (o disarm a number of the
battleships and take the metal. In
tin's manner, at the beginning of
1916, 23 battleships had been dis-
j armed, as well as one newly built
cniiser.
Many Ships Dstroyed.
Af the beginning of'this year,
Captain Persius states, the German
navy consisted only of dreadnaughts
'and battleships of the Helgoland,
Kaiser and Markgraf types, and
some few battle cruisers. All the
ships which Von Tirpitz had con
structed from 1897 to 1906, at a
- cost of innumerable millions, had
been destroyed, and the U-boats
' that had been constructed had
proved unable to fight against Brit
ish warships.
..In 1917, he states, 8.1 submarines
were constructed, while 66 were
destroyed. In April, 1917, Germany
had 126 submarines and in October
146. In February, 1918, it had 136
and in June of the same year 113.
according to Captain Persius' fig
ures. i
s Few Subs Active.
Z Only a-small' percentage of these
submarines were actively operating
at any given time. Captain P' "sins
declares. In January, 1917, for in
stance, when conditions were favor
able for submarine work, only 12
per cent were active, while 30 per
"Cent 'were in harbor, 38 per ce..t
Under repairs, and 20 per cent "in
capacitatf d." .
' In the last months, he reveals, it
was very difficult 4o get men 'ar
submarine v;ok, as experienced sea
men looked upon the submarine
warfare as political stupidity.
Captain Persius tells - of the
mutiny that broke out at the begin
ning of this month when theGir
i in in navy was ordered out for at
tack. Had the seamen obeyed, the
writer remarks, innumerable lives
would have been lost, and, he de
clares, that "every thinking -man,
f jrefore, is of the opinion that
the seamen on November 5 rendered
a. invaluable service to their cor -try.",

Sir George CaveJSees
Alliance of Germansv
With the Bolsheviki
London, Tuesday, Nov. 20.--Sir
Geprge Cave, who recently resigned
from the position of secretary of
state, for the ..same department, in
speaking4n the Ho,use of Lords last
night, said that altftough there was
a pause in hostilities the enemy's
activities have not ceased.
"Germany has already begun to
try to destroy the unity of the allies
and our unity at home," he said. "I
believe there is a close alliance be
tween bolshevism and Germany. I
have had evidence of this during the
last week."
Regarding the" press bureau, he
saw no -reason why it should be
abolished. "We ought not to re
linquish the weapons provided., by
the defense of the realm act for
dealing with bolshevism," he said.

- k
i
From the entrance of the village
it was only a few steps to the sta
tion. Several carriages - stood at
th: platform, testimony that a train
was nearly due. He prayed that it
would be for New York. He didn't
want to wait around. He didn't
want to risk Katherine's driving in
on some errand.
His mind, intent only on escap
ing PO'i!-g eyes, was drewn by a
man who stepped from behind a
carriage and started across the
roadway in his direction, staring at
him incredulously. His quick ap-..-ehension
vanished. He couldn't
recall tht surprised face. There
was no harm being seen, miserable
a-. he was, dressed as he was, by
this stranger. He looked at him
closer. The man was plainly
clothed. He had small, sharp- eyes.
His hairless face was intricately
wrinkled. His lips were thin, mak
ing a straight line.
To avoid him Bobby jtepped
aside, thinking the must be going
past, but the stranger stopped and
placed a firm hand on Bobby's
shoulder. He spoke in a .quick,
authoritative voice:
"Certainly you are Mr. Robert
Blackburn?"-
For Bobby, in his nervous, be
wildered condition, there was' an
ominous note in this surprise, this
assurance, this peremptory greeting.
" , "What's amazing about that?" he
jerked out. "
The stranger's lips parted in a
straight smile.
"Amazing! That's the word I was"
thinking of. Hoped you might come
in from New York. Seemed you
were here all the time. 'That's a
good one on me a "very good one"
The beating of Bobby's heart was
more protioifnced than it had been
in the deserted house. He'asked him
self whx he should shrink from this
stranger who had an air of threat
ening him. The answer lay in that
black pit of last night and this
morning. Unquestionably he had
been indiscreet. The man would
tell him how.
"You niean," he asked with dry
lips, "that you've been looking for
me? Who are you? Flease take
your hand off."
The stranger's grasp tightened.
"Not so fast, Mr. Robert Black
burn. I daresay you haven't just
now come from the Cedars?"
"No, no. I'm on..my way to New
York. There's a train soon, I
tli ink." '
His voice trailed away. The
stranger's straight smile . widened.
He commenced to laugh harsh!y
and uncoutTily.
"Sure there's a train, but you
don't want to take it. And why
haven't you been at the Cedars?
Grandpa's death grieved you too
much to go near his body?"
Bobby drew back. The shock
ronbed him for a moment of the
power to reason.
T)ead! The old man! How "
The stranger's smile faded.
"Here it is nearly 3 o'clock in the
afternoon, and you're all dressed, up
for last night. That's lucky."
Bobby couldn't meet the narrow
eyes.
"Who are you?"
The stranger with his free hand
threw back his coat lapel.
"My name's Howells, I'm a
county detective. I'm on the case,
because your grandfather died very
strangely. ; He was murdered, very
cleverly murdered.. Queerest case
I've ever handled. What do you
thinkr
In his own ears Bobby's voice
sounded as renfote and unreal as it
had through the blackness last
night. -'
"Why do you talk to me like
this?' i
"Because I tell you I'm on the
case, and I want you to turn about
and go straight to the Cedars."
"This is absurd. You mean you
suspect You're placing me under
arrest?"
. The detective's straight smile re
turned. ,
"How we jump at conclusions!
I'm 6imply telling you not to bother
me with questions. I'm telling you
to go straight to the Cedars wh e
you'll stay. Understand? You'll
stay there until you're wanted Un
til you're wanted."
The merciless repetition settled
it for Bobby. He knew it would be
dangerous to talk or argue. More
over, he craved an opportunity to
think, to probe 'farther into the
lack pit. He turned and walked
away. When he reached the last
house's he glanced' back. The de
tective remained in the middle of
the road,. staring after him with that
straight and satisfied smile.
Bobby walked on, his shaking
hands tightly clenched, muttering
to himself:
1 'I've got to remember. Good God
I've got to remember.X It's the only
way I can ever know he's not right,
that I'm not a murderer."
CHAPTER IVr.
The Case Against Bobby.
Bobby hurried down the road in
the direction of the Cedars. Al
ways he tried desperately to recall
what had occurred during those
black hours last night 1 and this
morning before he had awakened
in the empty house near his grand
father's home. All that remained
were his sejisation of travel in a
swift vehicle, his impression of
standing- in' the forest near the
Cedars, his glimpse of the masked
figure which fre had called his con
science, the echo in his brain of a
dream-like voice saying: "Take off
your shoes and carry them in your
hand. Always doy that. It's the
only safe way."
These facts, tlien, alone were
clear to him: He had wandered,
unconscious, in the neighborhood.
His grandfather had been strangely
murdered. The detective who had
met him in the village practically
accused him of the murder. And
couldn't remember.
He turned back 1p his last clear
recollections. ' When he had expe
rienced his first symptoms of slip
ping consciousness he had been in
the cafe in New York with Carlos
Paredes, Maria, the dancer, and a
strange man whom Maria had
brought to the table. "Through
them he might, to an extent, trace
his movements, .unless they had put
him in a cab, thinking he would
catch the train, of which he had
talked, for the Cedars.
Already the forest crowded the
narrow, curving road. The Black
burn place was in the midst of an
arid thicket of stunted pines, oaks,
and cedars. Old Blackburn had
never done anything to 'improve the
estate or its surroundings. Steadily
during his lifetime it had grown
more gloomy, less habitable.
With the silent forest thick about
him Bobby realized that he was no
longer alone. A crackling twig or
a loose stone struck by a foot might
have warned him. He went slower,
glancing restlessly over his
shoulder. He saw no one, but that
idea of stealthy pursuit persisted,
lindoubtedly it was the detective,
Howells, who followed him. hoping,
perhaps, that he would make some
m .d effort at escape.
"That," he muttered, "is probably
the reason he didn't arrest me at
the station." v-
Bobby, however, had no thought
of escape. He was impatient to
reach the Cedars where he might
learn all that Mowells hadn't told
him about his grandfather's death.
A high wooden fence straggled
through the forest. The driveway
swung from the road . throught a
broad gateway. The gate stood
open. Bobby remembereds that it
had been old Blackburn's habit to
keep it closed. He entered and hur
ried among the trees to the edge of
the lawn in the center of which the
house stood.
Feeling as guilty as the detective
thought him, he paused there and
examined the house for some sign
of life. At first iV seemed as dead
as the forest stripped by autunln

almost as gloomy a id arid a- the
wilderness about it. He had no eye
for the symmetry of its wings which
formed the court in the center of
which an abandoned fountain stood.
He studied the windows, picturing
Katherine absne, surrounded by the
complications of this unexpected
tragedy.
His feeling of an inimical watch
fulness persisted. A clicking sound
swung him back to the house. The
front door had been opened, and in
the black frame of the doorway, as
he looked, Katherine and Graham
appeared, and he knew the resolu
tion of his last doubt was at hand.
Katherine had thrown a cloak
over her graceful figure. Her sunny
hair strayed-in fne wind, bu' her
face, while it had lost nothing of
its beauty, projected even at this
distance a sense of weariness, of
anxiety, of utter fear.
Bobby was grateful for Graham's
presence. It was like the man to
assume his responsibilities, to sacri
fice himself in his service. He
straightened. He must meet these
two. Through his own wretched
appearance and position he must de
velop for Katherine more clearly
thai ever Graham's superiority. He
stepped out, calling softly:
"Katherine!"
She started. She turned in his
direction and came swiftly toward
him. She spread her hands.
"Bobby! ' Bobby! Where have
you been?"
There were tears in her eyes.
They were like tears that have been
tooylong coming. He took her
hands. Her fingers were cold. They
twitched" in his.
"Look at me, Katherine," he said
hoarsely. "I'm sorry."
Graham came up. He spoke with
apparent difficulty.
"You've not been home. T';en
what happened last nigh.? Quick!
Tell us what you did e,vfcrything."
"I've seen the detective," he an
swered. "He's told you, too? vBe
careful. I think he's back there,
watching and listenii.g."
Katherine freed her hands. The
tears had dried. She shook a little.
"Then you were at the station,"
she said. "You must have come
from New York, but I tried so hard
to get you there. For hours I tele
phoned and telegraphed. Then I
got Hartley. Come away from the
trees so we can talk without with
out being overheard."
As they moved to the center of
the open space Graham indicated
Bobby's evening clothes.
"Why are you dressed like that,
Bobby? You did come from town?
You cai tell us everything you did
last night after I left you, and early
this morning?"
Bobby shook his head. His an
swer was reluctant.
"I didn't come from New York
just now. I was evidently here last
night, and I can't remember, Hart
lev. I remember scarcely anyr
thing." i
Graham's face whitened. -
"Tell us," he begged.
"You've got to remember 1" Kath

recited the few impressions that re
mained from last night.
When he had finished Graham
thought for some time.
"Parades-and the dancer," he said
at last, "practically forced me away
